In 1924, while still a student at Lahore’s National College, a local miraasi (storyteller, genealogist) came to Bhagat Singh’s grandfather Arjan Singh with a match for the boy. All of 17 years old, Bhagat Singh, who by that time was deeply committed to the national movement, retorted: “Won’t it be fun. The animal will eat through all our sugarcane fields and we will all be picking up the dung!”

There have also been stories that say, Singh, as a child, used to speak about growing guns in the land to fight the British isles Raj.

Singh was an avid reader and article writer and was drawn to the subjects of socialism, socialist revolutions and the reds.
